    So we went on a drive, and I kinda just blurted it out:/
    He was REALLY shocked, and at first he was like, it could just be a phase, but then I explained to him that I'd known "for EVER", maybe a little exaggerated, but then he told me he loved me regardless, so it's all good XD

    wow... I can't stop shaking...

    So happy to hear it went well!

    I'm familiar with the shaking... and the heat leaving your body, if I'm correct.

    Congratulations! I'm glad it went well.

    However, I just want to mention that, while I understand that it's kind of nice to have a captive audience, and also kind of nice that the person you are talking to is looking at the road instead of at you, diluting the intensity of the moment... generally speaking, it is not recommended to give someone a big shock while they are operating a moving vehicle. You don't know how they will react, and it may not be safe.

    Wow, well done.
    I think telling male members of the family especially my father is gonna be the hardest part. Hope i have enough courage as you to do it soon though:slight_smile:

    the weird thing is, everyone's saying how brave i was... but i dont feel brave. i kinda feel the opposite... it's strange, but that'sjust how it is. i just kinda spat it out before i had time to think (not wise, i know) and kicked myself afterwards, for a moment. it feels better to be open though ^_^

    It is still brave,i know i couldn't do it.
    You should feel proud about it though, telling your dad is one hell of a step:slight_smile:
